What have you tried to stay notified about details? the SMCAlert system texts and emails me links to details as soon as any changes occur. It has been fantastic for this and other situations.

I tried a lot. I spent a good amount of time searching for what the restrictions were in my city. I found news articles describing restrictions, but I wasn't able to locate primary sources or a way to keep updated.

Even with the link you sent me, that site gives no indication that it's a way to get updates on pandemic-related news and restrictions. It seems to just be an emergency subscription. What other messages does it send that aren't described in the FAQs?
